Dutch treats at Frick Museum

April 28, 2002|By Michael Kilian, Tribune staff reporter.

Some of the greatest art treasures of Holland--drawings by such 17th Century Flemish old masters as Peter Paul Rubens, Jacob Jordaens and Anthony Van Dyck--have gone on view this month at the Frick Art Museum in Pittsburgh. There are 100 works in the show--"Flemish Master Drawings from the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen"--all from the Rotterdam museum's world-renowned collection of old master drawings.

Featured among the 29 Rubens works are his magical "Portrait of Helene Fourment," "Three Standing Nude Women" and "The Martyrdom of St. Andrew." The show closes June 2.

Frick is at 7227 Reynolds St.; 412-371-0600; www.frickart.org.
